Because it would be troublesome to add the ability to remove source
types (in case for example a script fails to reload), instead make it so
source types can be temporarily disabled while the program is running.
This is to prevent confusion with video_thread in
libobs/media-io/video-io.c, which is used exclusively for video
encoding/output. Also prevents confusion in the profiler log data.
Decoupling the audio from the video causes the audio to be played right
when it's received rather than attempt to sync up to the video frames.
This is useful with certain async sources/devices when the audio/video
timestamps are not reliable.
Naturally because it plays audio right when it's received, this should
only be used when the async source is operating in unbuffered mode,
otherwise the video frame timing will be out of sync by the amount of
buffering the video currently has.
This allows the ability for certain types of modules (particularly
scripting-related modules) to initialize extra data when all other
modules have loaded. Because front-ends may wish to have custom
handling for loading modules, the front-end must manually call
obs_post_load_modules after it has completed loading all plug-in
modules.

(This commit also modifies the decklink, linux-v4l2, mac-avcapture,
obs-ffmpeg, and win-dshow modules)
Originally, async buffering for sources was supposed to be a
user-controllable flag. However, that turned out to be less than ideal
because sources (such as the win-dshow plugin) were programmed with
automatic control over their buffering (such as automatically detecting
USB 2.0 capture devices and then enabling in those cases).
The fact that it was a flag caused a design flaw to where buffering
values would be overwritten when a source is loaded from save data.
Because of that, this flag is being deprecated and replaced with a
specific function to enable unbuffered mode instead.
Originally, obs_get_video_info would recreate the obs_video_info
structure that was originally passed to it from obs_reset_video. This
changes that to just store a copy of the obs_video_info when calling
obs_reset_video, and then copying that to the parameter of
obs_get_video_info when called.
When frames are skipped the skipped frame count would increment, but the
total frame count would not increment, causing the percentage
calculation to fail.
Additionally, the skipped frames log reporting has been moved to
media-io/video-io.c instead of each output.
Adds functions to turn on audio monitoring to allow the user to hear
playback of an audio source over the user's speaker. It can be set to
turn off monitoring and only output to stream, or it can be set to
output only to monitoring, or it can be set to both.
On windows, audio monitoring uses WASAPI. Windows also is capable of
syncing the audio to the video according to when the video frame itself
was played.
On mac, it uses AudioQueue.
On linux, it's not currently implemented and won't do anything (to be
implemented).
Because D3D11 specifically does not support an L8 texture format (you
have to use a shader swizzle), manually convert Y800 signals to RGBX
instead. This also fixes a bug where Y800 signals will render red.
Closesjp9000/obs-studio#718
For displays, instead of using the draw_callbacks_mutex and risk a
reverse mutual lock scenario, use a separate mutex to lock display size
data.
This bug was exposed when trying to reorder filters in the UI module.
The UI thread would try to reorder the filters, locking the filter mutex
of the source, and then the reorder would signal the UI to resize the
display, so the display would lock its draw_callbacks_mutex. Then, in
the graphics thread, it would lock the display's draw_callbacks_mutex,
try to draw the source, and then the source would try to lock that same
filter mutex.
A mutex trace:
UI thread -> lock source filter mutex -> waiting on display mutex
graphics thread -> lock display mutex -> waiting on source filter mutex
Closesjp9000/obs-studio#714
If an async source is cropped on one side, then when the program is
restarted and the source is loaded from file, the async source will
start out with a width/height of zero. This will cause the async source
to not be drawn if cropping or scale filtering is added to the scene
item, because it has to be rendered to a texture first. However, the
source cannot reset its size until it's drawn, so it leaves it in
perpetual state of having a 0x0 size.
This fixes that problem by ensuring that the async source size is always
reset even when not being rendered.
Closejp9000/obs-studio#686
Allows getting the current active framerate that the core is rendering
with. This takes in to account any rendering lag or stalls that may be
occurring.
Allows the ability to use scale filters such as point, bicubic, lanczos
on specific scene items, disabled by default. When using one of the
latter two options, if the item's scale is under half of the source's
original size, it uses the bilinear low resolution downscale shader
instead.
(Note: This commit also modifies obs-ffmpeg and obs-outputs)
API Changed:
obs_output_info::void (*stop)(void *data);
To:
obs_output_info::void (*stop)(void *data, uint64_t ts);
This fixes the long-time design flaw where obs_output_stop and the
output 'stop' callback would just shut down the output without
considering the timing of when obs_output_stop was used, discarding any
possible buffering and causing the output to get cut off at an
unexpected timing.
The 'stop' callback of obs_output_info now takes a timestamp with the
expectation that the output will use that timestamp to stop output data
in accordance to that timing. obs_output_stop now records the timestamp
at the time that the function is called and calls the 'stop' callback
with that timestamp. If needed, obs_output_force_stop will still stop
the output immediately without buffering.
(Note: Also modified the obs-ffmpeg plugin module)
Allows the ability for frame data to pass 8-bit grayscale images (Y800
color format).
Closesjp9000/obs-studio#515
Adds deinterlacing API functions. Both standard and 2x variants are
supported. Deinterlacing is set via obs_source_set_deinterlace_mode and
obs_source_set_deinterlace_field_order.
This was implemented in to the core itself because deinterlacing should
happen before effect filters are processed, but after async filters are
processed. If this were added as a filter, there is the possibility
that a different filter is processed before deinterlacing, which could
mess with the result. It was also a bit easier to implement this way
due to the fact that that deinterlacing may need to have access to the
previous async frame.
Effects were split in to separate files to reduce load time (especially
for yadif shaders which take a significant amount of time to compile).
Instead of just updating the async texture variables directly in the
source, allow the ability to pass the async texture variables via
function parameters to allow the ability to parse more than one frame to
more than one texture.
This code is primarily intended to be used to upload/convert the
"previous" async frame for the deinterlacer (if necessary).
Just creates an effect to the target variable only if its current value
is null. This will be used for deinterlacing effects to prevent having
to compile the shaders unless they're actually being used.
If the circular audio buffer of the source has data remaining that's
less than the audio frame tick count (1024 frames), it would just leave
that audio data on the source without discarding it. However, this
could cause audio buffering to increase unnecessarily under certain
circumstances (when the next audio timestamp is within the timestamp
jump window), so it would append data to that circular buffer despite
the audio stopping that long ago, causing audio buffering to have to
increase to compensate.
Instead, just discard pending audio if it hasn't been written to. In
other words, if the audio has stopped and there's insufficient audio
left to continue processing.
With the new audio subsystem, audio buffering is minimal at all times.
However, when the audio buffering is too small or non-existent, it would
cause the audio encoders to start with a timestamp that was actually
higher than the first video frame timestamp. Video would have some
inherent buffering/delay, but then audio could return and encode almost
immediately. This created a possible window of empty time between the
first encoded video packet and the first encoded audio packet, where as
audio buffering would cause the first audio packet's timestamp to always
be way before the first video packet's timestamp. It would then
incorrectly assume the two starting points were in sync.
So instead of assuming the audio data is always first, this patch makes
video wait for audio data comes in, and conversely buffers audio data
until video comes in, and tries to find a starting point within that
video data instead, ensuring a synced starting point whether audio
buffering is active or not.
The seamless audio looping code would erroneously trigger for things
that weren't loops, causing the audio data to continually push back and
ignore timestamps, thus going out of sync.
There does need to be loop handling code, but due to the fact that other
things may need to trigger this code, it's best just to clear the audio
data and start from a fresh sync point. Unfortunately for the case of
loops, this means the window in which audio data loops and video frames
loop need to be muted.
This fixes an age-old issue where audio samples could be lost or audio
could temporarily go out of sync in the case of looping videos. When
audio/video data is looping, there's a window between when the audio
data resets its timestamp value and when the video data resets its
timestamp value. This method simply pushes back the audio data while in
that window and does not modify sync, and when it detects that its out
of the loop window it simply forces a resync of the audio data in the
circular buffer.
This ensures that minimal audio data is lost in the loop process, and
minimizes the likelihood of any sort of sync issues associated with
looping.
Instead of applying the resampler offset right away (to each audio
packet), apply the resampler offset when the timestamps are converted to
system timestamps. This fixes an issue where if audio timestamps reset
to 0 (for whatever reason), the offset would cause the timestamp to go
in to the negative.
(Note: This commit also modifies UI)
Instead of using signals, use designated callback lists for audio
capture and audio control helpers. Signals aren't suitable here due to
the fact that signals aren't meant for things that happen every frame or
things that happen every time audio/video is received. Also prevents
audio from being allocated every time these functions are called due to
the calldata structure.
Transition sources are implemented by registering a source type as
OBS_SOURCE_TYPE_TRANSITION. They're automatically marked as video
composite sources, and video_render/audio_render callbacks must be set
when registering the source. get_width and get_height callbacks are
unused for these types of sources, as transitions automatically handle
width/height behind the scenes with the transition settings.
In the video_render callback, the helper function
obs_transition_video_render is used to assist in automatically
processing and rendering the audio. A render callback is passed to the
function, which in turn passes to/from textures that are automatically
rendered in the back-end.
Similarly, in the audio_render callback, the helper function
obs_transition_audio_render is used to assist in automatically
processing and rendering the audio. Two mix callbacks are used to
handle how the source/destination sources are mixed together. To ensure
the best possible quality, audio processing is per-sample.
Transitions can be set to automatically resize, or they can be set to
have a fixed size. Sources within transitions can be made to scale to
the transition size (with or without aspect ratio), or to not scale
unless they're bigger than the transition. They can have a specific
alignment within the transition, or they just default to top-left.
These features are implemented for the purpose of extending transitions
to also act as "switch" sources later, where you can switch to/from two
different sources using the transition animation.
Planned (but not yet implemented and lower priority) features:
- "Switch" transitions which allow the ability to switch back and forth
between two sources with a transitioning animation without discarding
the references
- Easing options to allow the option to transition with a bezier or
custom curve
- Manual transitioning to allow the front-end/user to manually control
the transition offset
(Note: test and UI are also modified by this commit)
API Changed (removed "enum obs_source_type type" parameter):
-------------------------
obs_source_get_display_name
obs_source_create
obs_get_source_output_flags
obs_get_source_defaults
obs_get_source_properties
Removes the "type" parameter from these functions. The "type" parameter
really doesn't serve much of a purpose being a parameter in any of these
cases, the type is just to indicate what it's used for.
The new audio subsystem fixes two issues:
- First Primary issue it fixes is the ability for parent sources to
intercept the audio of child sources, and do custom processing on
them. The main reason for this was the ability to do custom
cross-fading in transitions, but it's also useful for things such as
side-chain effects, applying audio effects to entire scenes, applying
scene-specific audio filters on sub-sources, and other such
possibilities.
- The secondary issue that needed fixing was audio buffering.
Previously, audio buffering was always a fixed buffer size, so it
would always have exactly a certain number of milliseconds of audio
buffering (and thus output delay). Instead, it now dynamically
increases audio buffering only as necessary, minimizing output delay,
and removing the need for users to have to worry about an audio
buffering setting.
The new design makes it so that audio from the leaves of the scene graph
flow to the root nodes, and can be intercepted by parent sources. Each
audio source handles its own buffering, and each audio tick a specific
number of audio frames are popped from the front of the circular buffer
on each audio source. Composite sources (such as scenes) can access the
audio for child sources and do custom processing or mixing on that
audio. Composite sources use the audio_render callback of sources to do
synchronous or deferred audio processing per audio tick. Things like
scenes now mix audio from their sub-sources.
